A Year Later

2008-02-29T03:45:34Z

A whole year has passed since I fell off the face of the VOX, having made two weepy CarolAnne-like ghostlike entries since. UPDATE: (in bulletpoint fashion, as VOX doesn't support PowerPoint) *I have asked CalaVerde to marry me. This happened on...

Is there anybody out there?

2007-12-13T03:41:12Z

Well, I'm looking to rant. Well, not really, more like a revisitation to the old lodge, where the crickets chirp and the parties of old are but a memory to the wisty eye of the author. No matter. I wanna rock. Or something to that tune. I have co...

Angry Money

2007-02-15T20:01:36Z

Is it just me or does it look like George Washington is going to step off that dollar coin and start whaling on your sorry ass? Or is this just the not-so-new message we're sending the rest of the world: Don't fuck with the U.S. (especially bef...

My Baby Is The Greatest

2007-02-11T23:08:39Z

Yesterday was my birthday. I received that Y chromosome meaning I am genetically predisposed to not remind people of this fact or announce it beforehand. You either know or you don't. If you don't, you ask at some point, "Hey Dawg, when be the ann...

You thought you had it bad...

Jerry Springer in Spaaaaace!

2007-02-06T15:26:03Z

Florida never ceases to amaze me. On the one hand, it is the home of our national space launch pad, has some of our most beautiful beaches, and has cosmopolitan jewels like Miami. On the other hand, it was the state that first handed us George Bus...

Tag, I'm IT! (or Internet chain letter bullshit)

2007-02-01T03:02:29Z
